1:42 AM - Isabella's Office, Main Villa
The glass of whiskey was still half full when Isabella's secure laptop pinged with an encrypted incoming feed from Weston.
She clicked once.
Emma's voice came through immediately.
Emma (on comms):
"We pulled all feeds. One of the McDonald's exterior cameras caught you. Clear enough for facial tracking."
Isabella (flatly):
"Date?"
Emma:
"Yesterday. 17:23. Boston PD picked it up on a flagged database. We traced the inquiry. Detective Romanov. Same one who handled your 'death report.'"
Isabella didn't blink.
Isabella:
"How long until he knocks on my door?"
Emma:
"Unknown. But we burned the camera system and replaced the local storage. Digital trace is clean, but if he pulls live backups from city grid, that's harder to erase."
Isabella (coldly):
"Then I'll erase the detective."
She stood, walked to the mirror, and stared at herself for a moment.
A face the world declared dead.
She didn't flinch.
Enry walked in, sleepy-eyed, hoodie halfway on.
Enry:
"What happened?"
Isabella (quietly):
"Someone saw me."
Enry (now fully awake):
"Do I need to call Thomas or G G?"
Isabella:
"Not yet. I'll talk to Romanov first."
Enry (hesitates):
"And if he recognizes you?"
Isabella:
"Then he stops breathing."

Weston Villa - Security Room
Emma turned off the feed and looked at Hannah, who was now leaning against the glass wall.
Hannah:
"She's slipping."
Emma:
"No... she's waking up."
